What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

IMO one of the main problems is eliminating the workflow of older commercial operating systems and having to build a new habit of using a new system. There are various Linux-based distributions that manage to give the user everything they need without having to resort to using the specific terminal.

Creating a new habit after spending years developing one for an old system, for me, is the main problem that leads many users to leave it.

People who prefer light theme over dark/night theme.. Why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

For me both must coexist. The time light allows me to be able to see the development environment and the elements in situations when there is a lot of light (even if the monitor is anti-glare the light theme is better), while when the light decreases the dark theme does not "shoot a blinding light".

Basically, light or dark? both.

Musk claims Meta hired dozens of Twitter employees to build Threads. in c/[email protected]

First he fires almost all Twitter employees, some even almost without warning, and then he complains that Meta has hired them to develop Threads.

There's no getting around it, Musk has only led to the failure of what was, in part, one of the social networks with great potential.

Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked (lemmy.world)
 

The admin of lemmy.world, mastodon.world, and calckey.world says the site has been hacked. For details, here you can find his post and this for the recap.

What does all this have to do with the backup community?

Lemmy instance administrators must take into account that any backups of previous versions of their instance may be affected by this vulnerability.

While updates to Lemmy instances are progressive in a future timeline (meaning they tend to update to newer versions and not older versions), there is a chance that administrators, for some reason, need to use an old backup. In this case, the use of previous versions must necessarily eliminate the problem of custom emojis and rotate the JWT secret.

Do I have to change my password?

The administrator of lemmy.world, mastodon.world, and calckey.world says that passwords are not compromised, but to "sleep peacefully" it's preferable to change your password.

2 authors say OpenAI 'ingested' their books to train ChatGPT. Now they're suing, and a 'wave' of similar court cases may follow. in c/[email protected]

Or is it that the OpenAI computer isn’t going a good enough job of following the “three references” rule to avoid plagiarism?

This is exactly the problem, months ago I read that AI could have free access to all public source codes on GitHub without respecting their licenses.

So many developers have decided to abandon GitHub for other alternatives not realizing that in the end AI training can safely access their public repos on other platforms as well.

What should be done is to regulate this training, which however is not convenient for companies because the more data the AI ingests, the more its knowledge expands and "helps" the people who ask for information.

Lemmy.world 2FA (lemmy.world)
 

I remind you that Lemmy.world has recently implemented the ability to enable two-factor authentication.

To enable it, go to your profile settings and find the 2FA button at the bottom. Once you click on "Save" the page will reload and you will have a new "2FA installation link" button that will allow you to save the authentication seed.

Remember to always save the seeds and/or QR codes of accounts with two-factor authentication. Many password managers like Biwarden or KeePassXC allow you to save 2FA codes. However, this would mean that together with the credentials such as email and password there will also be 2FA creating a single breaking point which in some cases is not convenient.

An alternative is to use 2FA applications such as Aegis, FreeOTP, and others (I would avoid Authy because it requires a phone number) or use keys such as Yubikey and the like.

Regardless of everything, whether it's too full of detail for an icon or approaching the style of Apollo's icons, I have to admit it's absolutely gorgeous! Good job!
